  What a wonderful unexpected surprise. Living in Fort Lauderdale over 40 years we thought we had scene it all but with Brian as our Jet Ski tour guide we explored… read more the 10,000 islands and saw so many amazing sea life and more. Brian even rescued an injured ibis that was wrapped in fishing line. Marco Island Water Sports also monitors radar very closely postponing our departure 30 minutes to let the rain storm pass over. Highly recommend and will be back ourselves for another tour.

  Awesome guided tour by Ethan. He put us right on to manatees, then through some very cool mangroves and finally onto 3 dolphin that followed us while jumping in our… read more wake. A trip of a lifetime for sure.

Sign up for this tour when you visit Marco Island – it was well worth it!

  Our family did a waverunner tour that departed the JW Marriott on Marco Island and proceeded into the Ten Thousand Islands. The tour itself – the wildlife, particularly the many… read more dolphins and birds we saw – was top-notch. But what really made the day special was the staff. From Brandon and others in the shack, to our tour guide Ryan, they are a team that is very professional and fun, a great mix. They take your safety very seriously, but know that this will be one of the highlights of your vacation, so fun and informative it was. From open water to the many canals, there were frequent stops to describe what we were seeing. It was just a terrific experience. I highly recommend Marco Island Water Sports on your next trip to Marco.

  Jacob and staff were great. Banana boat rides were so much fun and felt safe. Service was excellent and attentive.

  The 13 year olds in our group wanted to try parasailing. They did a great job with them, but the 30 minute trip involved only about 10-12 minutes of… read more parasailing. A little pricey though considering the company about 50 yards down the beach was $30 less.

  We had a fantastic time with Captain Brian and mate Caitlyn. We took my 13 year old niece parasailing for the first time and the crew showed us a great… read more experience! So easy to do and beautiful views! Thanks for a great time!

  Matt and James were the perfect captains for my daughter’s first parasail. Even though she is 18, mothers still get a little concerned. I knew as soon as we got… read more going that these two were pros. I went as an “observer” and photographer (with phone) and the ride along in the boat was worth the money for certain. Thank you for making a memorable adventure for mother and daughter alike!

  Matt and James should win the contest as they rocked our parasail trip this week during these crazy covid-19 days! Friendly, experienced, efficient and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked… read more for an easier flight. I even suspect they had something to do with the fact that we got it done the day before the beaches shut down . We had 2 experienced flyers and 1 first timer and everyone felt great about the experience.

  James and Matt provided a fun afternoon for my family. They were energetic and very experienced with parasailing. Even my dad, who doesn’t like heights, enjoyed the experience. This was… read more our third parasailing adventure with Marco Island Water Sports in 2 years, and we’ll definitely do it again.

  Loved the tour. A great escape from the everyday! Saw a spotted manta ray and three manatees right after the tour started. The rest of the tour was outstanding. The… read more domed houses are so cool. Zack narrated and told really funny stories and jokes. Plus he was very knowledgeable about the mangroves and all of the wildlife. The stop for shelling was top notch. Thanks for a great adventure. The music was super too, made for a great relaxing tour.

  Took the dolphin and shelling excursion for the 5th time this year. This excursion was the best for dolphins this year. Dolphins rode the wake of the Caluso Spirit. Captain… read more Shawn and Sonya were great. Both very knowledgable fun. Shelling spots are hit and miss. This years spot wasn’t as good as ones in the past but still a good experience. Looking forward to our next trip.

  Captain Shawn has a wonderful boat and great music to cruise around Marco Island. He knew exactly where the Dolphins were located, and we saw lots of them. … read more Sonya, an expert in marine life, was very knowledgeable and made our trip not only fun, but very informative. We were able to stop to do some amazing shelling on another island. Make sure you take part in their excursion. We had a 5-star experience! Go For It!

  Instructors were very clear with their safety instructions and patient with new drivers.
Marco and Edward are the best.This was my first time on jet ski and our group had… read more great experience. We did sightseeing of wild life and historical dome homes. Definitely recommend anyone who visit Marco Island to experience this activity to see the island.

  My daughter and granddaughters went parasailing together – ages 8 and 10 – and had a wonderful time. We’ve used MI Water Sports many times and they are… read more so pleasant to deal with. They are very conscientious about safety. Everything runs like clockwork. Definitely recommend.

  Calusa Spirit with Capt. Shawn and Zack, very entertaining. Dolphins up close to the boat. Shelling on an exposed sand bar. Nice music, cold beer; a really… read more pleasant afternoon. Highly recommend.

No manatees on this trip so, even though it is out of their control, only four stars. Better luck next time…

  While visiting Marco Island with my extended family, we decided to do a Wave Runner tour leaving from the Marriott. This was a very convenient location for us to get… read more to – and we had 7 waverunners rented for our tour with 14 of us going (2 on each).

Most of us needed to complete a short test to be able to drive the wave runner, but Marco Island Water Sports made this truly painless. We made our way down to their location, read the booklet with information, and took a 25 question test. Everyone passed and we were ready to go!

We had Captain Ryan guiding our tour, and he was FANTASTIC! He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the habitats we rode through, history of the island/area/architecture we saw, and animals. They do not promise that you will see dolphins, however we got very lucky and Captain Ryan spotted some dolphins toward the end of our ride. He led us over to them and let each of us get close enough to see them (mom, dad and baby dolphin!) jumping and swimming under us – one of the coolest experiences of my life. After we followed the dolphins for a little while, Ryan noted that the Dad Dolphin was starting to get a bit defensive in his maneuvers and therefore we stopped following them and headed back to the Marriott. I really appreciated Ryan’s vast knowledge of dolphin behavior (which he shared with us) but also that he used this to ensure we were not bothering them in their natural habitat.

Ryan was attentive, knowledgeable, and patient as we had very new drivers with us and all had a safe and fun ride. Thank you to Marco Island Water Sports and Captain Ryan for a truly unforgettable ride!

  Yesterday Marco guided our group of six wave runners on a great 2 hour trip! Marco Island Watersports did a very good job of preparing us for safely riding… read more through some rough water and areas where the water is quite shallow. It is important to arrive the 1/2 hour before the tour begins. Our guide Marco was fantastic! He brought us through the mangrove islands to see dolphins, white pelicans and osprey, He was friendly, knowledgeable and really seemed to enjoy the trip as much as we did. Great way to get out on the water and see the wildlife and enjoy the beautiful scenery! Highly recommend this tour.

  My family of 5 went on a jet ski tour through the 10,000 Islands today with Ethan as our guide! We had a great day out! We scheduled the 1.5… read more hour tour. Ethan, our guide was very friendly and informative. We saw so many dolphins and different types of birds. Ethan answered all of our questions we had. We also went past Cape Romano.
